STYLE: Malbon Golf Inspires Today’s Youth to Participate in the Greatest Game on Earth

Growing the game can be done in many ways, but I’ve always felt like it starts in a simple place. Attire on the course. When kids are forced to wear pants, polos, and belts, many will be immediately turned off to the idea of stepping on a tee box. But when that wall is torn down, and those same kids are allowed to wear clothes that would also look good off the course, that’s when you peak their interest. And that’s what Malbon is doing for the game. 

Malbon Golf was started by Stephen and Erica Malbon in 2017, culture enthusiasts obsessed with golf. Their goal has been the same since the beginning…

“Our mission is simple: to inspire today’s youth to participate in the greatest game on Earth.”

The brand has been featured in some of the biggest publications in the world, including GQ, Vogue, NY Times, and Golf Digest. Once Malbon reached this level, it was clear they were doing something right. 

Their catalogue appears to be limitless when you go on their site, and all of it is incredible. Not only is their hat collection the best I’ve seen from any golf brand, but their collaboration with Nike is phenomenal. Let’s take a look at some of my favorite pieces…

Malbon x Nike Therma Victory Half Zip 

Malbon does many things with their clothing that I love, but having ‘Malbon’ centered on the chest is one of them. Many brands usually go with the common small logo on the upper left chest, which gets boring. This unique feature immediately makes this half-zip stand out from the rest. 

“Nike Therma fabric helps manage your body’s natural heat to keep you warm—and performance high when temperatures are low. Fuzzy fabric adds extra softness and warmth.”

What I love most about this piece, is the elastic wrist bands. These are perfect for a fall round, as it keeps your outer layer from getting in the way of your grip or glove.

Recently, I’ve turned into a huge fan of longsleeve polos, so this piece had to go on the list. The Hawk Longsleeve features a white collar and wrist bands that perfectly contrast the stripes of the main body. 

The Hawk is priced at $130, comes in 4 different colors and is perfect for a Spring or Fall round. If you’re interested in grabbing one for yourself, find it here.

I’ve seen brands start to add corduroy hats to their lineup, but I haven’t seen anything like the Malbon Heritage before. This cap truly adds style to any golf outfit, and is the perfect bridge between a street look and a golf course. 

On their site, you can purchase one of these for $46 and choose between 4 different color ways. If you’re interested, click here. 

Malbon Golf is creating a space where expressing yourself with what you wear on the golf course doesn’t mean sacrificing style. I hope that other brands, including the big guys, can implement that same message to the younger generation. Because without them, golf has no chance to grow.
